I love this song -- it's my pandemic blues. You really rock it up here, which is a big change from my mournful tooting 😃. Nice to hear a new track from you!

Thanks you Danielle!
I've been kicking around the idea of covering this piece for a long time...
And after an aborted collaboration (much more jazz), I launched into this great blues alone ! but with a more rock influence ! :)
I would have liked to find someone to sing it but nobody dared to do it !
Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed this track !

Would you like a guest spot on the next Radio Liquorice podcast? Let me know and I'll DM you my email. (This is @daniellemurray - it's my podcast)

[bakingjazzpower]

Thank you very much for this proposal! unfortunately, I will have to decline the offer...
Indeed, I don't have much time to myself and especially no equipment to ensure a podcast.
I am nevertheless flattered by your offer and thank you again!

Nice! Still got a vintage feel with the electric. What guitar was it? Some of us like all the techie details.

Your newest post is two years old... where are you now... how can I find you again!
You came to mind when I was looking up more about an instrument I've heard only in the movie Amadeus.

Bubak And Hungaricus is early 18th Century gypsy music which was arranged by Jaroslav Krček and included on the Amadeus soundtrack. The composer is unknown, but it’s a fun old Central European folk musical piece which seems to have been turned into a court dance tune over time. These folk dances which was performed at the palace as a curtain raiser to Mozart’s music show how classical composers constantly drew from the folk music that was all around them.
In the feudal courts of Europe, the usual instruments of strings, cornets, and harpsichords were often joined by folk instruments, like a bagpipe made from a sheep’s bladder. The ensemble heard here includes an ancient recorder-like flute, and a curious single-string double bass with a penetrating drone, the tromba marina, so named because it was used as a foghorn on ships.
